Resolution No. 13-130 authorizing Mayor Schrieks to execute an agreement with
All Covered f/k/a United Computer Sales and Service, Inc. for the provision of
Professional Computer Services as Information System Management
Consultant/Technical Computer Consultant to the Borough of Lodi Police
Department for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
Last year and in years prior, Lodi only executed one
contract for the provision of “Professional Computer Services as Information
System Management Consultant/Technical Computer Consultant”.
The council was questioned why Lodi needs two this
year. Their response was “All Covered”
was better for the police department.
The council was told that if "All Covered" was better for the police department, maybe
they would be better for the whole job.
The council responded that “All Covered” is located in Cherry Hill and JNP
is located in Hasbrouck Heights so its beneficial to have two because of
location.
The council was questioned on what JNP’s $2000 “Monthly
Maintenance Service” covers by contract.
Lodi Mayor Marc Schrieks couldn’t answer. Mr. Schrieks was told that many bills are
submitted besides the $2000. Examples
stated were: “Install monitor DPW $190”
and “Install new printer Rec Department $95”.
Marc Schrieks said he believed that JNP did not
charge to install these items but rather charged for the actual items
themselves. Marc was told that $95
seemed low for a printer for the recreation department. Marc said something like he just bought a
printer for a similar price.
Page 5 of the August bills shows that the printer
for the recreation department was purchased for $240.29 from CDW-G LLC.
So once again, is JNP billing Lodi to plug a wire
into a computer? There have been many bills
to “install” over the last year besides the $2000 monthly charge. Is Lodi getting its money worth with these
consultants, or there is no accountability because the owner is the Garfield
school superintendent’s son?
